In a medium saucepan, combine the almond milk, granulated sugar, and salt.
In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup of the almond milk from the saucepan and the cornstarch until smooth.
Add the cornstarch mixture back into the saucepan with the remaining almond milk mixture and place over medium heat.
Stir continuously with a whisk to prevent lumps, cooking until the mixture starts to thicken and comes to a gentle simmer. This should take about 10 minutes.
Once simmering, continue to cook for another 2-3 minutes until the pudding is thick and smooth.
Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla and almond extracts.
Pour the pudding into individual serving bowls or ramekins.
Let cool slightly, then cover with plastic wrap directly on the surface of the pudding to prevent a skin from forming.
Chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or until set.
Before serving, top with toasted sliced almonds and fresh raspberries for garnish, if desired.
